They are cheaper than I expected.

A bit more expensive than Oponeo for most tyres it seems, but certainly worth checking/comparing. No doubt less risky than buying from sites like Oponeo too.

Like most tyre sites though, when I enter my reg, they get my tyre size wrong; 225 / 55 / 17 instead of 255 / 35 / 20.
19s or 18s, I can understand, but did any S8s ever come fitted with 17s?


Comparing with Oponeo, which is the cheapest I've found so far (and where I purchased my present Michelin Pilot Super Sports):


Michelin Pilot Super Sports
ASDA - £189.60 each
Oponeo - £166 each

ASDA don't seem to stock the Michelin Pilot Alpin winter tyres I was considering buying but comparing a similarly priced winter tyre:

Dunlop Winter Sport 3D MS (97W)
ASDA - £203.72
Oponeo - £173


So it seems, ASDA are about £20 - £30 more expensive per tyre than Oponeo. Going part-way through ASDA's checkout process though, suggests that the tyre price includes fitting. In fact, I can't seem to find a supply-only option. It looks like you're forced to use one of their approved tyre fitters.
